How do you vote in England?

Answer 1

*The traditional way is still very popular. One goes along to the polling station, gets a voting slip and votes for the candidate by putting an X by his/her name. One then puts the slip in the ballot box. (Just before one is handed the voting slip the polling clerk perforates it. The perforation varies from one polling station to another and is intended to make it difficult for anyone to put in additional votingslips). *One can vote by post, but one has to apply in advance for a postal vote. *In some areas one can vote online. Please note that in some local elections one can vote for more than one candidate. In elections to the Scottish Parliament, the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Welsh Assembly and the European Parliament a system of proportional representation operates. Joncey

Answer 2

To vote in elections in the UK people aged 18 or over have to be on the electoral register and a British citizen.

Once added to the register you receive a polling card prior to the date of the election as confirmation of your eligibility to vote. On election day you attend a poling station in your constituency (detailed on the polling card) and after being ticked off on the list of voters eligible to vote at that location you are given your ballot sheet and directed to a pooling booth were you can put a cross against your preferred candidates name before folding the ballot sheet and putting it in the secure ballot box.

The ballot sheets are then counted after the polls close
